An Explorer's Guide to the Field Museum

J. Logan Ward

Field Museum of Natural History,U.S.
1998
nidottu
This guidebook provides a starting point from which to explore The Field Museum. Founded in 1893, Chicago's Museum of Natural History initially held items from the World's Columbian Exposition. Today the Museum houses over 20 million objects, from Egyptian mummies and Chinese jade carvings to Tyrannosaurus rex bones and Martian meteorites. The entries relate archaeological mysteries and behind-the-scenes glimpses into how the Museum's exhibits are created. Each of the 60 objects discussed are keyed to both a floor plan of the Museum and a map of the World.

Lossing's Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution in Virginia & Maryland

Lossing's Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution in Virginia & Maryland

Benson John Lossing

DRAM Tree Books

It was by the placid waters of the Chesapeake Bay that some of the most dramatic scenes of the Revolutionary War were played out, paving the way for the birth of a new nation. In Virginia and Maryland, the struggle for independence from Great Britain was finally won at battlefields and towns that stretch from Annapolis to the Shenandoah Valley. In 1848, New Yorker Benson J. Lossing embarked on a two-year trek that covered thousands of miles through the original thirteen states and Canada. His mission was to collect and preserve the stories of the men and women who had fought to make the United States a reality. His original work was published in 1850, consisting of two illustrated volumes comprising over 2,000 pages of first-hand history. In this edition, we have excerpted the chapters that deal with the war in Virginia and Maryland (including West Virginia, Washington, D.C., and the Albemarle region of North Carolina). It was the scene of some of the war's hardest fights. Williamsburg...Richmond...Fredericksburg...Spencer's Ordinary...Mount Pleasant...Blue Licks...the Battle of the Capes...Yorktown...Norfolk...these are all places where the drama of the American Revolution was played out. Benson J. Lossing tells the stories of the heroes and villains of the war from the accounts of the people who were there. The book includes illustrations of the people and places that played such a big role in our nation's founding, but that too often have been lost to the passing of time. Lossing's account also tells the stories of Jamestown and the English settlements at Roanoke. His descriptions of the trip he took to gather the stories in this book are also a remarkable portrait of what America was like in the decade before our nation's second crucible by fire - the Civil War.

Gamble in the Devil's Chalk: The Battle for Oil in A Field of Broken Dreams

Gamble in the Devil's Chalk: The Battle for Oil in A Field of Broken Dreams

In the mid 1970s, a band of men with little expertise in the oilfield defied the hard ground of Giddings, Texas, to search for oil in a barren, poverty-stricken land that was littered with dry holes, shattered hopes, and empty pockets. Max Williams, the former hot-shot basketball player at SMU, and Irv Deal had been in high-dollar real estate until the real estate market collapsed. Both were facing the wrath of hard times. Pat Holloway was a lawyer who operated drilling funds but had never tested the ill-fated Austin Chalk. He drilled the most and earned the most but lost it all in the shady confines of a Dallas courtroom. Jimmy Luecke was a highway patrolman who stopped Holloway for speeding one night and promised not to take him to jail if the lawyer/oilman would agree to drill on his family's land. Bill Shuford was right out of college and more interested in finding the next beer joint than his next job. Jim Dobos was a constable who used his badge to lease land, struck it rich, and was found with a gunshot in his head. Was it murder or suicide? Clayton Williams was the only big-time oilman in the bunch, but in the beginning, he made the mistake of employing the wrong geologist. Only those who used the geologic genius of Ray Holifield found oil. Holifield had cracked the code of the chalk. Gamble in the Devil's Chalk is the true story of their fights, their feuds, their trials, their tribulations, and their triumphs as they discovered the second largest oilfield in the United States during the past half century. Once they came, Giddings would never be the same again.

For most of her life, Princess Alyce has lived cloistered in fear and isolation. Her homeland, the kingdom of Myrilla, is weak. Her people suffer from hunger and failed crops. Worst yet, the gods seem to have turned their backs on the land of their most beloved member: Kore, wife of the God of Souls.But when an enemy army invades Myrilla and Alyce is forced to marry its leader, she finds herself thrust into an unfamiliar world of ritual and politics. A world where kings seek counsel from shepherds, crops will only grow if the proper blood is spilt first, and to offend the gods means certain death. Only by learning to follow in Kore's ancient footsteps will Alyce find any hope for Myrilla, her husband, and her own future.Kore's Field brings the extraordinary, yet often overlooked, myth of Admetus and Alcestis to life through an unforgettable young woman's story of determination, uncertainty, and the true sacrificial nature of love.
